Share on social media

The 2016 NRL Telstra Premiership Grand Final Sydney is officially sold out, with more than 83,000 rugby league fans expected to descend on ANZ Stadium this Sunday.

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said that fans had been quick to secure their seats, as history happens again this weekend.

"Melbourne and Cronulla deserve their place in the Grand Final. No doubt we are in for a fantastic dual again on Sunday, when one team will secure the ultimate Premiership glory," Mr Greenberg said.

"Grand Final week has had a fantastic build up so far and with sunny weather predicted for Sunday, I encourage fans to take advantage of free transport to and from the stadium and get there early for the build-up and entertainment before the main game at 7:15pm."

All tickets to the NRL Telstra Premiership Grand Final include return travel on Sydney Trains and Major Event Buses, with fans encouraged to take public transport, arrive early and enjoy the pre-game festivities.

Sharks fans are encouraged to travel by train where possible, as Major Event Buses will be in high demand and are expected to reach capacity quickly.

Fans are reminded to keep their tickets for the return journey, as customers must have a valid ticket when travelling on public transport.

Fans are also reminded that Daylight Saving begins in NSW on Sunday, when clocks go forward one hour at 2:00am.

NRL Telstra Premiership Grand Final celebrations will begin in the Sydney Olympic Park precinct outside ANZ Stadium at 11:00am, with an NRL Fan Zone offering merchandise, family-friendly activities and live entertainment. Restaurants, cafes and bars will open for extended hours pre and post-game.

Fans are encouraged to be in their seats inside ANZ Stadium before 6:30pm to see the electrifying pre-game entertainment headlined by international megastar Keith Urban.

Urban will be joined by multiple Grammy Award-winner Richie Sambora and Australia’s own guitar goddess Orianthi.

Fans are reminded to be aware of ticket scalping and take all necessary precautions to avoid being caught out and missing the Grand Final.

The NRL does not condone ticket scalping and fans should only purchase and receive tickets via the NRL's authorised ticket outlet, Ticketek.

If fans are in any doubt about their tickets, they should contact Ticketek.
